Enhanced CO2 Coordinates the Spatial Recruitment of Diazotrophs in Rice Via Root Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO2 (eCO2) will facilitate the identification of nutrient‐efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low‐nitrogen ...

Evaluation of maize and hemp cultivars as bioenergy crop [PDF]
, 2010 We are cultivating annual and perennial crops as monoculture and as mixed culture to investigate plant biomass use for production of renewable energy sources in northern latitudes. We have grown different hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) and bioenergy maize (

Reconciling Techno-simplicity and Eco-complexity for future food security [PDF]
, 2015 Ecological intensification has been proposed as a paradigm for ensuring global food security while preserving biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Ecologicalintensification was originally coined to promote precise site-specific farming practices aimed ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Morphophysiological responses to drought in Ouratea fieldingiana (Gardner) Engl. (Ochnaceae), a species endemic to the semiarid savannas of Brazil [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaIncreased frequency and duration of droughts are projected due to climate change, with northeastern Brazil’s semi-arid region being one of the most affected globally.

Neotropical Bird Migration During The Ice Ages: Orientation And Ecology [PDF]
, 1996 Reconstruction of breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soybeans, one of the most important legumes, face multiple stresses including drought and herbivory. But the potential transfer of the interactive effects of these stressors onto the transgenerational plants has not been understood. We hypothesised that progeny from stressed parents will have enhanced ecophysiology and defence traits through ...

Improving competitive ability of chickpea with sowthistle [PDF]
, 2005 An experiment was conducted to examine the extent of root and canopy interference of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.). Sowthistle was surrounded with either two or eight chickpea plants.

Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment [PDF]
, 2014 Desiccation is a particular risk for small animals in arid environments. In response, many organisms “construct niches,” favorable microenvironments where they spend part or all of their life cycle. Some maintain such environments for their offspring via

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...
